(Re‐)Building an assessment paradigm : individual student learning in team‐based subjects

The assessment of individual student learning within team‐based subjects is often a challenging task, due in part to the high levels of complexity inherent in the socially mediated and socially determined team‐based learning environment. This paper will describe the design and current status of a two‐year funded research project. This multi-university design‐based research activity is investigating and constructing a strategic paradigm for the assessment of individual student learning in team‐based subjects – a paradigm which supports the cooperative creation of learning intent and performance expectations between academic staff and students.
